Laugh all you want, but the Milwaukee Bucks are probably the best team currently constructed on this list — and just might be the team closest to making an NBA Finals on this list.
After adding Jason Kidd as their head coach last season, and considering the plethora of young talent that this team is draped with, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to believe that this Bucks team could be one or two key free agent signings and a few years away from making an Eastern Conference Finals.
I wouldn’t even put it past them to potentially make the NBA Finals in the next 5-10 years. Of course, all that banking on them eventually landing a key free agent or two in the next handful of offseasons.
And with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton, John Henson and Rashad Vaughn all likely in the fold for the foreseeable future, there’s going to be a point where a veteran big name free agent will realize that his best opportunity to win in the near future will be with the Bucks.
I’m not sure if it’s this summer or in the next handful of seasons, but the Bucks need to begin to put the full-court press this summer. They might even be closer than we even realize.
